    Also try my Whiskey Marinated Steak, Best Chicken Marinade, and Citrus Flank Steak.

    How to marinate chicken

    It’s so simple! Just throw all of the marinade ingredients into a large Ziploc bag and press around with your fingers. Flatten the chicken a little, then toss it into the marinate. Place the bag into the refrigerator for 4 hours and up to 24 hours.

    The longer you let it sit, the more moist and flavorful the chicken will become.

    Ingredients

    • ¼ cup blood orange infused olive oil
    • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
    • ¼ cup brown sugar

    • 1 tablespoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 2 tablespoons Djion mustard

    Instructions

    • Place each chicken breast into a plastic bag or in between plastic wrap and flatten slightly with a rolling pin or a meat tenderizer.

      Blood oranges have one of nature’s most astonishing colors … I am so in love with blood oranges! And I set out to create a dish that highlighted their deep Strawberry Kiwi flavor and absolutely beautiful coloring! However, this dish can be ready with navel oranges as well, if blood oranges are out of season. This was the first recipe I made from the afarmgirlskitchen, but I’m looking at each recipe on this site with a new apprecation for Jessica’s genius!

      There is nothing that I enjoy more than firing up the grill and host a BBQ gathering during the summer. This chicken recipe will be a great help and will make me a popular chef for sure.
